Naturally Nurtured Nature School

About this program

Naturally Nurtured Nature School, located in Macon, Georgia, offers a year-round, all-weather nature immersion program for children. The school is rooted in the Forest School and Reggio Emilia philosophies, emphasizing outdoor learning, exploration, and student-led discovery. Each day includes a blend of structured experiences—such as circles, songs, stories, and creative arts—and unstructured, imaginative play led by the children themselves. The natural world serves as the classroom, with daily adventures through creeks, meadows, and forests. With a 1:5 teacher-to-student ratio, the school creates a nurturing environment where children gain confidence, develop social and emotional skills, and build a long-lasting connection to nature. The aim is to inspire a love for learning, the earth, and all living things. (Source: https://naturallynurturednature.com)
